Synopsis
A teenage outcast's obsession and fascination with rock music and heavy metal superstar idol, Sammy Curr, turns into a spine-tingling, life-threatening situation not only for the outcast, but also for his high school and home town. Featuring special appearances by Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons.
Maybe the best heavy metal album ever
Review date: 2006-02-11 Rating: 10 out of 10
The title of my review says everything. Maybe their next albums were bad to the bone but this one is what people calls Unique. It doesn't matter if you seen the movie or not, this album released the perfect metal era, mid 80s and it's one of the most representative albums of the kind. If humanity send sometime a music album beyond the universe in order to demonstrate out civilization to other worlds this one will be the best for that purpose.

Don't be tricked because this is no treat

There would seem to be a little potential to Trick or Treat. Forget Gene Simmons and Ozzy; no matter how prominently they may be featured on the box, they have very small roles to play in this heavy metal monstrosity of a movie. What we have is Sammi Curr, heavy metal warrior and idol to one Eddie Weinbauer, coming back from the dead to sow vengeance among just about everybody. Unfortunately, this movie goes downhill in a hurry and becomes, by its midpoint, nothing short of ludicrous. Family Ties' Skippy (Marc Price) seems to be taking the whole Nick and Malarie thing pretty hard, as this movie finds him playing a [person]who depends on heavy metal music to keep him from ending his miserable life. He idolizes Sammi Curr in particular because Sammi went to his high school and somehow made it to the top of a heap from which he could spit on the likes of Tim and the other cool kids who make Eddie's life so miserable. When Curr dies in a fire, Eddie takes it pretty hard, but then Nuke the local DJ (Gene Simmons) gives him the only copy of Curr's newest record. When Eddie plays the album backwards, Curr begins talking to him personally and starts the poor [...] on a course of satisfying revenge against people who do things like grab the towel from around his waist and push him naked into a gym filled with teenaged girls. Curr soon begins to take over, though, appearing whenever his special last album is played, and delights in killing people by shooting blue incineration flames out of his guitar. One of the later scenes is one of the silliest things I have ever seen in my life, and unfortunately the movie does not try to rise above this level of inanity at the very end. The only interesting thing about Trick or Treat is the brief appearance of a clean-cut, actually intelligible Ozzy Osbourne as a preacher decrying the evil of rock and roll music. Trick or Treat is certainly no treat.
This Horror stands the test of time!!!

I saw this flim in 1986,and i must say it hasnt dated,its eye candy from the start with a good cast and great music by fastway! the effects are simple but effective,and there are plenty of spills and gore along the way as they try to send the reserected sammy back to hell.please watch this film as it will put a smile on your face and a chill down your spine.I would say a horror classic!!! buy it or sammy will get ya!!!

It really is many years since I saw Trick or Treat, but I really can say, that once seen never forgotten. The plot is really easy to get into, but completely unrealistic! Then again aren't all horror films? There are plenty of tense scenes to ensure that the viewers are either on the edge of their seat (or hiding behind it!). As for all the nasty things those boys get up to in school, well, I'm just glad that my school was not like that! The music that accompanies the movie is excellently performed by Fastway. It adds depth to the movie and keeps you hanging on for the next musical interlude! The film is great, although a little dated now, but don't let that put you off. It is certainly worth viewing...again...and again.....and again.
